Re: [PyQt] Trouble reading a model index from an "untouched" combo box

[Demetrius Cassidy]

Just took a peak at QAbstractItemView class and your right it's fully 
implemented. The view is asking the selectionModel what the current 
selected index is, and if it has no selection model (not sure if that's 
even possible) it returns an invalid QModelIndex. QComboBox.currentIndex 
is just asking the QSqlTableModel for the row. It doesn't hurt to make a 
1 line code change to test it out. I use QComboBox.currentIndex in my 
app, though I have no need to change the model in QComboBox.

I don't think you need to use the view pointer at all - it's
returning QAbstractItemView *, which I would assume it would need to
be casted to the proper class in C++. If that's so, by design the
Abstract class will return an invalid index.
    

I don't think so ;) The function currentIndex on the view is not
virtual, so its implemented in the abstract class already properly.

And to get a model index to index into the model its easier to ask the
view for it, rather than constructing it yourself with model->index(
combobox->currentIndex(), <model-column>, QModelIndex())
